GIY (Grow It Yourself) is an emerging global community of people who grow some of their own food at home, school, work or in their community.
For the first time in human history, the level of diet-related disease has surpassed that of infectious disease. We believe there is an urgent need for us to reconnect with nutritious food grown in the living soil.
Research shows that when people grow food, it leads to long-term dietary changes, a deeper understanding of nutrition and improved wellbeing. This deeper understanding and respect for food (Food Empathy) acts as a lever to a healthy, happier and more sustainable life.
